7.5.1.2 SPI for a Single Slave Device

The SPI is used to set device configurations, operating parameters, and read out diagnostic information. The device SPI operates in slave mode. The SPI input-data (SDI) word consists of a 16-bit word, with 8 bits command and 8 bits of data. The SPI output data (SDO) word consists of 8 bits of status register with fault status indication and 8 bits of register data. Figure 22 shows the data sequence between the MCU and the SPI slave driver.

A valid frame must meet the following conditions:

  • The SCLK pin must be low when the nSCS pin goes low and when the nSCS pin goes high.
  • The nSCS pin should be taken high for at least 500 ns between frames.
  • When the nSCS pin is asserted high, any signals at the SCLK and SDI pins are ignored, and the SDO pin is in the high-impedance state (Hi-Z).
  • Full 16 SCLK cycles must occur.
  • Data is captured on the falling edge of the clock and data is driven on the rising edge of the clock.
  • The most-significant bit (MSB) is shifted in and out first.
  • If the data word sent to SDI pin is less than 16 bits or more than 16 bits, a frame error occurs and the data word is ignored.
  • For a write command, the existing data in the register being written to is shifted out on the SDO pin following the 8-bit command data.
